Frommer's Review

Missionary and sugar planter Edward Bailey's 1833 home -- an architectural hybrid of stones laid by Hawaiian craftsmen and timbers joined in a display of Yankee ingenuity -- is a treasure-trove of Hawaiiana. Inside you'll find an eclectic collection, from precontact artifacts like scary temple images, dog-tooth necklaces, and a rare lei made of tree-snail shells to latter-day relics like Duke Kahanamoku's 1919 redwood surfboard. There's also a gallery devoted to a few of Bailey's landscapes, painted from 1866 to 1896, which capture on canvas a Maui we can only imagine today.
